  1. Rip-off? You tell me.

    The characters of fonts are not protected under US copyright, only the names, that is why Bitstream has Swiss and Lino has Helvetica etc etc. That said however, if it can be proved that someone just took a font and renamed it. It gets sketchy at times, check out softmaker.com and their fonts. At...
  2. Rip-off? You tell me.

    The points don't even have to be exact, if you can show the court that they used an algorithm to change them, that is what happened in the Adobe vs SSI, the Learning Center was the distributor, but SSI was the "foundry" I believe.
  3. Rip-off? You tell me.

    Actually Fred, that is not really so on 2 of the 4. Berthold never lost money on fonts, they lost money on their fickle front ends (we had a Diatronic, excellent letter quality and great H&J, lousy on consistancy) for such a long time it killed them. The Font Company just never got the traction...
  4. Rip-off? You tell me.

    That question is the one that perplexes the deepest minds in Typography. For instance when you look at Berthold Garamond and Adobe Garamond, they are so close, I mean pinch me close. Adobe has a patent on Garamond, as if they originated the thing, Paris, Washington, my eye! Thievery is a sure...
  5. Rip-off? You tell me.

    Sometimes these thieves do not cover themselves, buy a copy and you can checkout certain details, like who has the copyright. Sometimes they miss basic stuff and all you need is a nice letter from a lawyer. Steve, Adrian Frutiger has been ripped off so many ways, its a nice club, albeit a...

  7. Making your own fonts

    FontLab Type Tool might be a better low price font creation program. If you really want to go all out, FontLab is all the rave. There are other tools out there, DTL FontMaster utilities are free, but unintuitive and there is the free FontForge, OpenSource. Font Constructor is a Mac only program...

  10. So the sign business isn't that important after all ...

    Sometimes little surprises like this remind us that it is relationships with loved ones and friends that are really important. Glad to see she is ok, but its even better to know how important she is to you!
  11. Need help with this font

    With each font he created, Roger Excoffon broke typographic rules. He always stated that how people see the top of letters is most important, and you can see the emphasis on that with each font.
  12. Looking for a Plotter Small price

    What do you want to do, and what is the price and condition of the machine you want comments on?
  13. What is Signlab 8 Print & Cut Worth- Selling 2 of mine

    People can buy it new for $1850 (Print and Cut, I saw it from Ordway). You should sell all three here as a member to member auction. They are latest version so there would bee people who would like to buy at a pretty decent rate and this is a concentrated area of pro users. I gotta ask, why...

  16. Happy Birthday ELVIS

    Elvis was an amazing singer, I don't think people can comprehend that he had sooooo much attention on him, for years. My favorite quote about Elvis came from his old rival, Jerry Lee Lewis "What did Elvis have that I didn't? He got the good drugs, we got the S&*& drugs" Happy Birthday Elvis...

    Amy, Use Cutting Master 2, keep at it. You will find it works just right for you. What you may consider is how you think it should work Those Graphtecs are pretty awesome and they have enough out there with people doing the same workflow as you. Essentially Cutting Master is a Bridge Program...
